spare? ferm? grand cherokee?

[Destroyer]

I Have the Cherokee (Sport), My brother has the Grand Cherokee. His is in the shop more than mine. Mine is a 1998 with the Inline 6 4.0L engine. His is a 2003. Mine is just about bulletproof. The only major problem I've had with the car is the brake lines rusted out at around 140,000 miles. She's got 214,000 on her now and still going strong. Just change her oil and she'll purr like a kitten.

i'm looking at Cherokees but believe it or not, they're more expensive than the grand. spare, I just sold my suburban/ Yukon xl. too big. had the 2500. too thirsty. I like the 4runner also but not cheap. saw a real nice Cherokee in CT for cheap.
may go for something like this.

I know some ppl will disagree with me, but I get an honest 21.5 MPG on the highway with my Cherokee. If that Red one is nice as it looks in the pic it might be a great deal. The reason they are so popular is they are almost bulletproof. The engine is (almost) impossible to kill. I know that some ppl have reported trans problems with them but like I said I've got 214K on mine and she runs smooth as silk. They are a little small in size, so expect that, but I'll tell you something. Mine made the trip to and from Naples, Fla twice towing my V20. 1600 miles each way without a whimper. Oh, and they are phenomenal for turning in a tight spot, Really tight turning radius. (Great for the city)

cant speak to the jeep/cherokee , but if your getting a a dodge 4x4 to save gas, your in for a surprise.

Yeah, that dodge GUZZLES gas like no tommorrow. The grand cherokees have trans problems, but the toyota trans in the regular cherokee is pretty tough so kong as you dont overheat them.
